Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 34:22

22 Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattel and cattel.

In the 21th. verse those metaphors and allusions do express the unmercifulness, injustice, pride, cruelty, and wanton Tyranny of the Rulers in Church and State against the meaner People, that as you see the greater Cattle run against the lesser, and overturning, or laming, some way or other hurting them by shouldring against them; or as horned Cattel wound and tear the weaker, and make them run for it, so had these Rulers used their power to the hurt and scattering of the People.

Because I see they destroy who should defend.

I will interpose, they will not, but I will be so kind, just and faithful to my people, and promise, I will save, from Foreign violence, and home oppressions.
